English Vocabulary
Based on the book ‘Henry Pond the Poet’, this resource focuses on developing an understanding of the words ‘vacantly’, ‘pulverised’, ‘hatched’ and ‘common’. This PowerPoint contains visual stimuli to aid the understanding of the vocabulary, opportunities for the teacher to model how to use contextual clues to work out the meaning of unfamiliar words and to discuss the reasons for and effect of the writer’s vocabulary choices. Opportunities for guided practice and independent work are also available within the slides (resources within the slides can be printed and enlarged if desired).
